• I can graph points to solve problems.

​Vocabulary

​Coordinate Plane

​x-axis

​y-axis

​ordered pair

​quadrant

​Guiding Question/Essential Question

Properties of the Coordinate Plane

• A coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis.

• The two axes (plural for axis) intersect vertically at a point called the origin of the coordinate plane.

• The axes also divide the coordinate plane into four regions called quadrants.

• The location of a point is given as an ordered pair of numbers, (x₁, y₁).

G6 Coordinate Plane

The x-axis is a horizontal number line.

The y-axis is a vertical number line.

Together, they allow you to locate points in two-dimensions!!!!

Multiple Choice

Which axis runs horizontally?

• x
• y

Quadrants

• Together the x and y axes split the plane into 4 sections, called quadrants

Multiple Choice

In which quadrant is the following point?

(-3, 12)

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

Ordered Pair

The point (-4, 3) tells us to

start at the origin

go left 4

go up 3
